>[!danger] Dancing Stars (Conceptual Character)
> In a nutshell, **dancing stars** are radical creative ideas. This character's bio draws from the following Nietzsche's quote: "I say unto you: one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. I say unto you: you still have chaos in yourselves".

> Dancing stars are concepts, heuristics or problem solutions beyond one's ability to conceive at the moment. Such phenomena were conceptualized in M. Fisher's *Acid Communism*. In parallel [acid fantasy](https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/41610/Acid_Fantasy_Bundle/), [🥎😻🌴aciδζραφίχ❤️🔥🥜🌈](https://cari.institute/aesthetics/acidgrafix) aesthetics, and [[IBU/RESEARCH/Deconstructions/2024. A Nomad is Always Home|Frenzied Flame]], they are envoys of unimaginable, and anonymous agent of externality (see R. Negarestani)
